About Melinda

A multilingual and cross-cultural approach

Being multilingual, I understand that language can be much more than a way of communicating. It can be closely connected to our identity, culture, relationships, memories and sense of belonging.

I speak English, German, Romanian and Hungarian, and I offer multilingual and cross-cultural counselling. I welcome clients from immigrant and multicultural backgrounds and understand that navigating different languages, cultures and identities can sometimes bring its own challenges.

I am also open to exploring subjects that are important to you, including spirituality, religion, cultural identity and personal beliefs. You do not need to leave these parts of yourself outside the counselling room.

How I can support you

I have experience supporting adults with a wide range of experiences, including:

• Anxiety and panic attacks
• Depression and low mood
• Overwhelming thoughts and emotions
• Anger and emotional regulation
• Attachment and relationship difficulties
• Childhood trauma
• Bereavement and loss
• Suicidal thoughts and ideation
• Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD/EUPD)
• Neurodiversity, including exploring suspected or diagnosed neurodivergence

I also take a neuro-affirmative approach, recognising that people experience, process and interact with the world in different ways. Whether you have a diagnosis, are exploring the possibility of being neurodivergent, or simply feel that traditional ways of understanding yourself do not quite fit, we can explore this together without judgement.

Finding an approach that works for you

There is no single way of doing therapy, because there is no single way of being human.

Some people find it helpful to understand patterns from their past, while others benefit from focusing on what is happening in the present and finding practical ways to manage difficult thoughts and emotions. Sometimes we may simply need a space where we can slow down and make sense of what we are experiencing.

My role is not to tell you who you should be or what you should do. Instead, I will work alongside you, with curiosity, compassion and respect, to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and explore what you may need moving forward.

You don't have to wait until things become unbearable before asking for support.

If you are struggling, feeling overwhelmed, or simply feel that something needs to change, I invite you to reach out. Taking the first step can be difficult, but you don't have to take it alone.
